The US president is in trouble. It seems that what was found in his office were intelligence documents related to Ukraine and Iran.
The trap is tightening around US President Joe Biden. The revelation of top secret documents in his old office is becoming a whirlwind. There are also suspicions that the affair was stomped for electoral gains. On the other hand, the issue of starting a criminal investigation against Biden (Joe Biden) is under consideration by the Attorney General.
Joe Biden’s old office is said to have files related to Ukraine, Iran, and the UK. All these appear to be brief summaries of intelligence agencies to key figures in the country. These are based on intelligence gathered between 2013-16. The English newspaper CNN reported that there were three to four boxes of secret documents in that office. It is worrying that all these come under the purview of ‘The Presidential Records Act’. Joe Biden’s family papers were also found in this office. These include Beau Biden’s funeral arrangements documents and condolence letters.
Trampled before the election..!
In fact, the documents in Joe Biden’s old office came to light on November 2, 2022. At that time, Joe Biden’s lawyer went to close that office. He found a manila folder there. It is labeled ‘Personal’. He found a cover with ‘secret documents’ written on it. Immediately called the National Archives Department. After that, Biden’s team carefully removed several boxes from there. There are mid-term elections in America in six days. But, this affair did not come out immediately. This matter came to light after the elections were over and the selection of the Speaker of the House of Representatives was also completed. In fact, the Republicans and Democrats faced off in the midterm elections. Republicans got only a narrow majority. Due to this, the party also struggled for the election of the Speaker.
Criminal investigation..?
A preliminary report on these secret documents has already gone to Attorney General Garland. A decision has to be taken on whether to initiate a criminal investigation or not. Garland also participated with Joe Biden in the international conferences held in Mexico on Monday. He did not respond to questions on confidential documents. Garlande also made key decisions in the case where documents were found with Trump. As a result, the FBI inspected Trump’s estate.
I don’t know..: Biden
Joe Biden responded to this controversy in Mexico City. “I was surprised to know that there are government documents in my office. It is not known how they reached that office. People know how seriously I take the issue of secret documents.
Who has how many..
Both Trump and Biden took classified documents to private offices. So far, 10 documents have been leaked from Biden, but 325 have been found from Trump. Among the things found with both were top secret files. Biden says he is currently cooperating with investigative teams. Trump did not cooperate with the investigation teams at that time.
